(One of the ways this Sydney Taylor Honor winning trilogy about kids fighting Nazis is most interesting is that everything is ambiguous — doing what is legally the right this is different from ethically the right thing, and different again from a number of conventions — obeying your parents, listening to your teachers, etc. Carla Jablonski and Leland Purvis do a very nice job of conveying that in-between state here. This next volume of the trilogy comes out in June.)
